Hi, welcome to Big Fat Positive with Shana and Laura.

On this week's episode, we have our weekly check-ins.

We have our special segment, check in the inbox, where we answer listener questions about

And so, for example, let's talk concrete things. My house is a-

I'm sorry. When you said, let's talk concrete things. I was picturing like a big bag of concrete. Like you were going to tell us how you were needing to pour concrete and it was really stressing you out. Thankfully, in my vast to-do list, pouring concrete is actually not one of the things.
